Deep Rising - Blu-ray Forum

DALLEN316 · 10-27-2008, 12:40 AM

Any idea when this will be released on blu-ray?

swifty7 · 10-27-2008, 02:53 AM

really? you are actually looking forward for a blu-ray release of Deep Rising?

to each his own I guess!!

gvortex7 · 10-27-2008, 02:56 AM

I love this movie however cheesy it may be. I can't wait to see it in high-def as the DVD version left a lot to be desired.

sbjork · 10-27-2008, 01:47 PM

Hell yeah! Time to retire the old non-anamorphic DVD!!!

(If you realize that the movie is tongue-in-cheek ON PURPOSE, you will find that it is a very entertaining film!)

SeahawxBlu · 10-27-2008, 08:23 PM

This wasn't a bad movie at all. It had a good cast, a decent story and good FX. It should make a nice BD when they get around to it.

sbjork · 10-27-2008, 08:28 PM

A friend and I loved the cast so much that we started an annual Treat Williams film festival that always includes this movie . . .

Out of all the movies that Treat Williams has done, which is your favorite?

i liked Deep Rising, and that one where his kid was taken, and reappears years later. Deep End of The Ocean IIRC

Drewza89 · 10-28-2008, 06:32 AM

This movie is totally underrated and is one heck of a fun B-movie.

Deep Rising is certainly up there, along with Hair, though on the serious side I prefer Prince of the City. However, my all-time favorite guilty pleasure is his hilarious performance in the nearly-forgotten Richard Lester movie The Ritz. (Treat Williams talking in a high-pitched falsetto and Rita Moreno dropping F-bombs? Who could ask for anything more!)

AlexSing · 08-02-2011, 07:56 AM

I can't believe this site has a thread on this movie with only a handful of posts?!

Treat William's finest hour, even bettering his Oscar-shunned turn in The Phantom - ok that's harsh, but he's really good in this.

This is a truly awesome B Movie that has clearly been overlooked. If some of the random dross that's currently on the format gets purchased then surely there's a place for this.

Come on someone, pick up the rights to this, clean up the abomination of a DVD transfer and lets bring this to the masses.

erikilla · 10-02-2011, 05:36 PM

I would love Deep Rising on 1080p! A new transfer, of course. It's one of my favorite movies of 1998. I love it, I love it!

It is a Disney release, right?

cwatson71 · 10-25-2011, 10:25 PM

Deep Rising was a great movie. Sure would be nice to add it to the blu-ray collection. Someone make this happen already.

TheNightWriter · 11-09-2011, 03:52 AM

This is one of my all-time favorite films! I can’t stand when people list off Academy Award winners for their favorites. I admit to liking what I like! Unfortunately, Hollywood is ruled by executives who aren’t true movie lovers, therefore a film like this that didn’t make any bang at the box office and got bombed by critics doesn’t call for any Special Edition DVD or Blu-ray release. It would be a dream to have a Blu-ray edition of this with some supplemental material but in this new high-def age, it’ll be sad to come to terms that a lot of the slew of stuff released on DVD will never see the light of a true high-def transfer without demand! If anyone had brains at Buena Vista, they would re-release it as a special edition toting “From the director of The Mummy and G.I. Joe” to cash in now that Sommers has established himself!

Waboman · 11-09-2011, 03:54 AM

This movie rocks! I have the DVD but would gladly welcome the blu.

Omen2002 · 12-15-2011, 02:29 AM

I was hoping this was already available and I somehow missed it. But instead I found this thread and my answer.

Hopefully this will come out sometime soon in 2012.

DallasTx · 03-13-2012, 06:29 PM

An awesome movie...I'd give my right nut to own it on Blu Ray

jlaavenger · 04-06-2012, 08:47 AM

Day 1 purchase!

MacEachaidh · 04-06-2012, 09:05 PM

The Core is finally coming to Blu in a couple of months' time, so perhaps there's hope for Deep Rising.

Leslie Dame · 04-07-2012, 03:46 PM

I used to watch Deep Rising and Virus (1999) all the time back in the day. Fun, guilty pleasures. Virus is finally coming to Blu-ray in Germany, all I need now is Deep Rising for a nostalgic double feature in HD.
